[We're saved!]: UN to host extra climate [scam] talks in April
OSLO, Feb 22 (Reuters) - An extra set of U.N. climate talks will be held in Germany in April to try to boost efforts to combat global warming after a U.N. summit in Copenhagen fell short of agreeing a new treaty, key nations agreed on Monday.

"The meeting will be held in Bonn on April 9-11," a delegate said of the decision by an 11-member group representing key nations meeting at the U.N. Climate Change Secretariat.

The April meeting, of senior government officials, would be preceded by one-day preparatory talks among key groups of nations.

Until now, the negotiating calendar had been limited to a session of officials in Bonn from May 31-June 11 to prepare for annual ministerial talks in Cancun, Mexico, from Nov. 29-Dec. 10.
